A document obtained by The Texas Tribune and ArmyTimes shows that 10 tank-like military vehicles will soon be deployed to locations along the Texas-Mexico border.
Armored personnel carriers like the M113 are designed to carry infantry troops across modern battlefields alongside tanks. They can be equipped with a range of weapons: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, antitank missiles or even large cannons similar to those mounted on tanks. It’s not clear what weapons, if any, will be on the Texas Guard’s M113s at the border.
The U.S. has sent 200 of the aging vehicles to Ukraine to support that country’s fight against invading Russians. The move didn’t surprise Fernando García, the executive director and founder of the Border Network for Human Rights, who said Abbott is “trying to justify the narrative of the invasion” by casting asylum seekers and migrants seeking opportunities as violent criminals.
